If President Trump wants to start blaming people for the problems in Baltimore, he might want to take a good hard look at his "slumlord" son-in-law Jared Kushner, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Thursday.

Over the weekend, Trump tweeted insults at both Baltimore and Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), calling the city "dangerous" and a "disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess," and he continued slinging mud throughout the week. "The president — this comes as no surprise — really doesn't know what he's talking about," Pelosi told reporters. "But maybe you could ask his son-in-law, who is a slumlord there, if he wants to talk about rodent infestations."
